The girls were given alcohol and cannabis before being intimidated into performing sex acts. The offences relate back to the late 1990’s and early 2000’s.

Detective Chief Inspector Martin Tate said, “These men have been found guilty of a catalogue of vile sex offences against two young girls who were given alcohol and cannabis and intimidated into performing sexual acts. On one occasion, one was locked alone in a flat for hours without food, water or electricity. The Court heard harrowing evidence from two very brave women whose childhoods were robbed by these men.”
